The very first question you'll need to think about when beginning your job search is: where do you want to work? Are you tied to one location, or do you have the flexibility to do a national or international search? It is perfectly fine to try both and to be open to whatever happens first. But prepare by ranking your list of job requirements to determine just what you are looking for. This ranking will vary depending on where you are in your career, your age, your obligations, and many other factors. Your ranking will include things like place of employment, salary requirements, commute time, availability of mass transit, , or even the eco-responsibility of your employer. What you decide is important is up to you. But your rankings will frame your job search.
Wondering where to start looking for a job? Take a look at some of the local and regional job sites listed below. For more information about job search resources, visit BTC's Advising & Career Center.
